Yeah probably, but also a lot of the stuff that is acclaimed is just really good. Luck plays a factor, but I'd be surprised if there were guys who make music as good as say Radiohead's, who are toiling away in obscurity because they were unlucky. My point is, a a lot of the indies make music which, while being solid and obviously requiring tons of work, still can't compare to the output of the few talented guys who made it. For the most part it's not luck, just skills gap. Almost nobody wants to listen to decent music if they can enjoy masterpieces.
